Austin Sound

Sure, Foot Patrol is into feet. But once you listen beyond the foot fetishes, the group lays down some of funkiest grooves in town, bending Prince-like sex appeal against samples and fervent beats. The eclectic vision of Hung Nguyen and TJ Wade, Foot Patrol’s songs are both hilarious and swaggeringly smooth, rapping out toe odes that will, well, have your feet moving. The group is following up last year’s album Smellabration with a slew of planned projects for 2008, including the Bill Callahan narrated funk opera Toah’s Ark: the Covenant, and you can see the Patrol live this Saturday, June 28, at the Tiniest Bar in Texas (817 W. 5th St).
